We devise an algorithm for solving the infinite-dimensional linear programs that arise from general deterministic semi-Markov decision processes on Borel spaces. The algorithm constructs a sequence of ...

Roughly, we will cover the following topics (some of them may be skipped depending on the time available). Linear Programming: Basics, Simplex Algorithm, and Duality. Applications of Linear ...

In recent years, several condition numbers were defined for a variety of linear programming problems based upon relative distances to ill-posedness. In this paper, we provide a unifying view of some ...

Grade school math students are likely familiar with teachers admonishing them not to just guess the answer to a problem. But a new proof establishes that, in fact, the right kind of guessing is ...
